Get Outside Year‑Round
Trailblaze Your Own Adventure
Enjoy stunning views and fun events and activities year-round at our city and state parks. Bike up trails for sweeping vistas of springtime wildflowers, catch local fish in the summer, or hike through fiery yellow forests in the autumn, and maybe spot a bald eagle or a moose in Golden Gate Canyon State Park. When it snows, don’t hole up inside. Instead, embrace the thrill of the outdoors during the best season for winter sports—give snowshoeing, fat tire biking or even ice climbing a try. Surrounded by picturesque foothills, challenging trails, and plenty of open-air adventures, it’s no wonder downtown Golden is packed full of shops selling outdoor gear. Whether you’re heading out to go fishing, snowshoeing or kayaking, you can get everything you need right in town.
Grab your friends and hike or bike your way up and down one of Golden’s 60 scenic trails, where you’ll be far above the busy world below. Don’t be surprised if you catch a glimpse of an elk or two along the way and stunning wildflowers if you explore the mesas in the spring or early summer. And, if you’re tired of keeping things too flat, why not think vertically and head out for some rock climbing or bouldering?
